Why did McNair's backup just throw a pass?

Billy Volek just threw a pass on 3rd down? Anyone know why?

[VHawk15]

McNair is hurt, it's most likely just a cramp.

They said it was a hamstring injury...I need him to come back!!!!

[Wesley Walker]

Okay. I'd sit him if it were only a hang-nail, until Week 15 that is.

[MMH]

Its a regular occurance, nothing to worry about.

ATLANTA (Nov. 23, 2003) -- Tennessee quarterback Steve McNair left the Titans' game against the Atlanta Falcons with an injury to his right calf.

The team said his return was questionable.

McNair was hurt after throwing a 5-yard pass Frank Wycheck. After he released the ball, defensive end Patrick Kerney simply touched McNair, who took a tentative step and immediately reached for his calf.

He dropped to the turf, but walked off without any assistance.

Billy Volek replaced McNair.

As soon as anyone haears something new, please enlighten the rest of us.

Per Fisher, he is doubtful for next week. Bad news for Titans fans
and McNair owners. Volek looked great, dropping Old'Donnell
is looking like the right move.
